You Am I @ the Gov

[BJWOK]

With a set list that would give any die-hard You Am I fan a massive stiffy (myself included) You Am I rocked the Gov like it was 1996 all over again. Tim Rogers introduced early You Am I numbers such as "Sound As Ever" & "Forever & Easy" indicating it was high time they were played again. Much to the crowds delight, even the brilliant "Embarrassed" got a running.

Opening proceedings with a rare cover of Regurgitator's (I Sucked A Lot Of Cock) To Get Where I Am, the sarcasm and wit was clearly set to full swing, more than likely spurred on by a vast quantity of alcoholic beverages consumed before the show.

Paying homage to the recently departed Magic Dirt bassplayer Dean Turner, they launched into a version of Magic Dirt's "Ice" back announcing it as for "my little sister, who has had a real fu***en sh**ter of a month"

"Gasoline For Two" from the Idiot Box soundtrack took me by surprise - not a track I've seen played live before, although "Cat's & Dogs" got a royal applause. And rightly so!

I've seen a number of You Am I shows over the years and I can easily say this show is one of, if not, the best I've ever seen. Incredible stuff.

Amazing set mate. 1, 2, and 5 are brilliant! I have never had a chance to see You Am I, but have always wanted to

I totally forgot about this band. They use to be played quite a bit on Triple J back in the day.

I've been away from Australia for about 10 years, so you'll have to forgive me.

Great stuff, you really are an inspiration to me, keep them coming and loving the words as well as per usual! Top stuff!

Great shots - definitely an awesome band to shoot. Sounds like a helluva night.

I missed their recent show(s) in Melbourne but will be shooting them in December.
